TEXTILE INDUSTRY • Felts for transfer printing machines

Printing of textiles is a procedure with a traditional background. Nowadays it has developed to an important high-tech process in the textile industry .

Transfer printing machines of the latest generation are focused on efficiency and the optimization of the colour transfer to the fabric .

A key element of this process is the transfer printing felt, which has to assure a perfect transition between printing paper and printing fabric.

The endless needle felts with insert fabrics, which were developed in many years of co-operation between itb and well known OEM’s, are the leading products in this sector.

The use of heat-resistant aramid fibres, the special design of the insert fabrics and the felt structure give this kind of felts the important characteristics of dimensional and thermal stability.

Special needle technologies and surface treatments provide these felts for an extremely high maximum stress in application and supply a very good result in the quality of the printed fabrics.
